What is the Elanco Lungworm Map?
The Lungworm Map shows the number of lungworm cases reported by vets, nurses and pet owners in the UK, and whether the cases were confirmed by diagnostic tests or suspected.
Why track reported Lungworm cases?
Lungworm has been shown to be spreading across the UK – though original cases were reported in the South of England, there have now been reports as far as Scotland and the North of England1. Collecting Lungworm cases allows us to see the incidence rate of Lungworm infections in the UK providing information on the geographical risk of the parasite. The map has been in use for 15 years and in that time we have collected over 2,200 cases, although this is just a snapshot of what is out there.
